Your External IP Adress

Postby matrix1984 » Thu May 21, 2009 11:16 am

When setting up my connection in the Options dialogue I get an error in the 'Your External IP Adress' box and it leaves some text in brackets. What should I do about that, is it something I need to worry about. I went to whatismyipaddress.com and entered that IP in the box. Will that create a problem? Thanks!

The IP address is used wherever it is required during auto submit (it's obviously submitted with your gallery info).... while 'external' in the name means how you're seen by others.

For example, if you have a proxy server set, after clicking on the Get button (below Your External IP Address) it should show you your external IP which may be different from your own IP -- as it depends on your proxy. So if it's giving you an error try to use a different proxy... or simply disable it.
